Sit!

"Meditation is not something that you practice for an hour or ten minutes and the rest of the day do your mischief. Meditation is the whole of life and that is the beauty of meditation, it is not something set aside, it covers and enters into all our activities and to all our thoughts and feelings. So it is not something that you practice or give attention to once a day or three times a day or ten times a day and the rest of the day live a life that is shoddy, neurotic, mischievous, violent." 

 -- Krishnamurti 

 

 Thanks to a dear friend, I am (again) renewing my commitment to sitting in silence, meditation or contemplation. There are many names for the same thing! 

Why do I avoid such a beneficial practice? But I do. I forget that sitting even one minute in silence is a surrender to God. 

 

Certainly, I can do that! For my life.
